Journalist Paul Brown told GIVEMESPORT that Arsenal have a “frightening” prospect on their hands with Folarin Balogun, the goal-machine from Ligue 1. The 21-year-old has been in impressive form for Stade Reims this season, leading the way at the top of the division’s scorer charts. Reims manager Will Still has praised Balogun’s technique, finishing, vision, and ability to play off the last defender or with his back to goal. Brown believes the young forward has all the tools to become a massive success, and there are suggestions he could feature for Arsenal next season. If Balogun returns to the Emirates Stadium, Arteta could find himself with a natural finisher within the ranks, with reports suggesting the striker could soon be worth £50 million. His underlying numbers indicate he is a potent threat, sitting inside the top five per cent of strikers for non-penalty xG each match.
Arsenal have long been associated with exciting young talent, and it looks like Folarin Balogun could be the latest to bring excitement to the Gunners faithful.
The youngster has been in sensational form for French Ligue 1 outfit Stade Reims, currently leading the way at the top of the division’s scorer charts. His manager Will Still has had praise for Balogun’s technique, finishing, vision and ability to link both play with the last defender and with his back to goal.
Journalist Paul Brown believes the 21-year-old has all the tools to become a major success, with reports suggesting he could be back at the Emirates Stadium for the 2021/22 campaign. His impressive goal record suggests he could be worth up to £50 million, and his underlying numbers indicate that he is a threat worth watching out for.
It would be a major coup for Arsenal to bring Balogun back, creating a frightening forward line with potential for major success. Arteta will be hoping he can hit the ground running when he returns, as Arsenal aim to challenge both domestically and in Europe.
